The Babylon series is a series of books by British author Imogen Edwards-Jones which provide exposés of work places or industries using fictionalized characters and real incidents and stories, based either on the author's own experiences such as in Hotel Babylon, or on stories from anonymous insiders.
Air Babylon (2005) describes as "a trawl through the highs, the lows, and the rapid descents of the travel industry".
[1] It combines various allegedly true incidents into a fictionalized day in the life of a duty manager at London Heathrow airport.
The book lifts the veil on the excesses of the wedding industry - the scams which inflate the prices of everything from flowers to cakes to marquee hire and the wedding disaster stories of high jinxing at the altar and disastrous low comedy in the speeches.
[5][6] It highlights how the potential for things to go horribly wrong is never higher than at a wedding and how the dream day is never far from becoming a nightmare.
